If Bush nominates Gonzales we're stuck with RoevWade for the next 40 years!

I never expected Roe to be overturned, anyway. What made you think it would be overturned anytime soon?

I'm not convinced that a revisit of Roe vs Wade will end in the same outcome. People are starting to understand that life begins at inception. Those that don't, are soon going to realize that if fetuses can survive outside of the womb sub 20 weeks, then killing them off right up to that is wrong.

I believe 22 weeks is doable now. I look for that to decrease in upcoming years.

If I'm not mistaken, the court already agreed to review something related to Roe Vs Wade recently. Perhaps someone else can remind us what that was, unless I am mistaken.

I agree. Roe is not going to be overturn, first I think you need two picks to get a five votes (I think just William, Anthoney, and Thomas will vote to overturn it.) need to overturn it. And it seems William is likely to go in the next few days so it be down to two.

Read the New book on Blackmun by Linda Greenhouse. Roe v. Wade stands only because of stare decisis, which really means in this case a fear that the court would lose face if it admitted error. Same thing that protected Plessy v. Ferguson for so long.
